Poland's top court rules election result valid
The opposition had asked for the result to be declared void
03 August, 17:08"The Supreme Court confirms the validity of the election of Andrzej Sebastian Duda to the Polish presidency," judge Ewa Stefanska said in her ruling on Monday.
The opposition had asked for the result to be declared invalid, complaining in particular that the state television network TVP had favoured the incumbent. The Supreme Court received more than 5,800 complaints, mainly related to voter registration, failure to receive ballots in time and problems with voting abroad. It upheld only 93 of the complaints, but said this was not sufficient to affect the final result of the vote. Duda is due to be formally sworn in on Thursday. (ANSA-AFP).
